What it does

Generates time-based one-time passwords (TOTP, RFC 6238) from a Base32 secret - the same algorithm authenticator apps use for 2FA. The algorithm (SHA1, SHA256, SHA512), the digit count (6 or 8), and the period in seconds are all adjustable. A progress bar depletes over the period; when it empties, a new code appears. The display refreshes every second.

How to use it

1. Enter the Base32 secret from your 2FA setup - the string behind the otpauth:// QR code.
2. Set algorithm, digits, and period to match what your service configured. The defaults (SHA1, 6 digits, 30 seconds) match most services.
3. Watch the progress bar, and copy the code while it is current.

The big display groups digits with a thin space for readability (123 456), but Copy takes the raw digits (123456), so nothing corrupts the paste. The share link encodes the secret and every option - treat it like a password, because the secret inside it opens your account.

Examples

• Secret JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP, SHA1, 6 digits, 30 s: a rolling 6-digit code that regenerates every 30 seconds.
• A non-Base32 string (lowercase letters, spaces, a 0 or 1 in the wrong place) shows Invalid Base32 secret. instead of a code.

How TOTP works

A TOTP code is a

keyed by time. Your app and the server hold the same secret and read the same clock; from those two inputs both sides derive the same short number. The secret crosses the wire once, at setup, and never again.

The recipe, step by step:

T    = floor(unix_time / period)          # 30 s steps: T advances every 30 s
mac  = HMAC(secret, T as 8 big-endian bytes)   # SHA1, SHA256, or SHA512
off  = last byte of mac, low 4 bits       # an offset (0..15) into the digest
num  = 4 bytes at that offset, top bit cleared, mod 10^digits
code = num, zero-padded to the digit count

• Why codes expire. T changes when the period elapses, so the

  input changes, so the code changes. Nothing deletes the old code; a new moment simply hashes to a new number.
• Why clock drift breaks login. A server usually accepts the code for the current step plus or minus one. Skew further than that, and you compute a code for a step the server refuses.
• Why the secret is Base32. Base32 uses only A-Z and 2-7: no lowercase, no 0, no 1, no lookalike pairs. A person can re-type a setup key from the QR-code fallback without ambiguity.

Good to know

• Private: the secret is used only locally to compute the code - it never leaves the browser.
• This tool generates codes; it is not a vault. Keep real secrets in a password manager.
• 8 digits and SHA256/SHA512 exist for services that require them (RFC 6238 allows all three algorithms). Most use the defaults.
